Shredded Innocence

A brisk ride with a little known uncle, to a gathering of loved ones, reunited, quickly turns to a journey of hell. Torn away from her home, she is subjected to a horrifying world of depravity and terrorism. On a country backroad, with no one to witness, her chastity is torn away, along with ripped clothing and flesh. Struggling for freedom, fighting for breath, she strains against their hands. They violate her tiny body with their own. She screams and cries out for "Momma." The tears flood her tiny eyes. With no one to save her, this nightmare is real. Each movement brings forth more pain, seeping to her very core. She endures the ghastly assault from the demented couple, she does survive. Back on the road, with drugs prevailing the truck comes to a violent stop. She runs to her earthbound savior with wings of denim and an old red truck. He rescues what is left of her angelic being, kept safe until the enforcers present. She now battles, not for her life, but her mind. The outer scars will fade with time, but his face and voice will haunt her and live in her nightmares from now on.
